Tune up the guitar and the banjo
Rosin up the fiddle with the bow
It's an Ozark Jubilee
This ain't Nashville, Tennessee
Branson's glad you're here tonight
Come on let's go

There's a little town down in Missouri
Never used to see a traffic jam
The old Baldknobbers used to play
nearly every Saturday.
By the lake and that's the way it all began

Then the Presley family built a theatre
On some property that they got for a song
After that it grew and grew
Reuben Branson never knew
What his town would turn into after he'd gone

So tune up the guitar and the banjo
Rosin up the fiddle with the bow
Let's have an Ozark Jubilee
This ain't Nashville, Tennesee
Branson's glad you're here tonight
Come on let's go

Then along came Roy Clark and Boxcar Willie
I've even seen him ridin' on the train
And of course we can't forget Shoji Tabuchi
Man he sure can make that fiddle sing

All it took was thirty years and sixty minutes
I guess everyone watched CBS that night
Music City heard Ol' Mel
Say I-I'm d-d-doin' p-pretty well
Now will the last one out of Nashville get the lights

Tune up the guitar and the banjo
Rosin up the fiddle with the bow
It's an Ozark Jubilee
Straight from Nashville Tennessee
Branson's glad you're here tonight come on let's go
It's an Ozark Jubilee
Hello Nashville Tennessee
Branson's glad you're here tonight come on let's go
